Who said ear protection couldn’t be chic?

Loop just dropped a collaboration with Swarovski, and it’s anything but boring. Centered around Loop’s protective Experience 2 earbuds and Swarovski’s love of all things shiny, the drop is perfect for the fashion-forward concertgoer in your life. The collaborative piece is available right now on Swarovski’s website, retailing for $125. Each earplug features a squishy silicone tip that gives the plugs a nice and snug fit without irritation.

The loop portion is crafted of stainless steel with a high-shine PVD chrome coating that transitions into six dazzling integrated crystals. Each crystal is presented in a variety of distinctive shapes and cuts while the precise faceting ensures a jewel-like finish. If the silicone tip isn’t fitting snugly, you can upgrade the size for a perfect fit, even in the smallest of ears. These earplugs are reusable, made for long-term use thanks to their sturdy silicone and AB composition. If the earplugs weren’t cool enough, they also come with a carrying case in white with Loop’s name embossed on the front.

A keyring is connected to the circular case with a Loop-branded hangtag. The added keyring allows you to hook your earplugs onto your bag or keys, keeping you and your ears protected wherever you may go. Of course, they’re super chic, but these earplugs also protect the ears.

Loop x Swarovski Experience 2 Earplugs

Decorative earplugs.

Unlike your traditional earplugs that block sound, Loop’s offerings filter sound to reduce overall volume, while keeping speech and music clear. This makes Loop earplugs a must-have for concerts or festival settings, given that you can still hear the music nice and clear without damaging your eardrums.

Soundwaves enter the Loop plug via a small opening. Those waves then travel through the hollow channel on the inside of Loop. This shallow channel acts as an acoustic resonator. It is the same length as your ear canal and has a quarter-wavelength resonance at 2700 Hz. By mimicking the way your ears function, the sound you receive with the earplugs sounds natural.

The whole goal of earplugs like these is to marry fashion and function, giving prospective buyers more interesting options than your standard earplugs. Not just a pretty face, Loop’s product is backed by innovation, giving you the best quality without sacrificing a thing.
